- Company Overview
Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hycroft,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “it,” or “HYMC”) is a U.S.-based gold and silver company dedicated to the safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective exploration and development of the Hycroft Mine, located in the state of Nevada.
The Company restarted pre-commercial scale open pit mining operations at the Hycroft Mine during the second quarter of 2019 and discontinued mining operations in November 2021 as a result of the then-current and expected ongoing cost pressures for many of the reagents and consumables used at the Hycroft Mine and to further determine the most effective processing method for the sulfide ore. In July 2024, the Company disposed of previously scrapped carbon, which contained gold and silver from processing in prior years. As the Company does not currently have cost of sales due to its cessation of mining operations, these proceeds were recognized as a reduction to Mine site costs. In March 2023, the Company, along with its third-party consultants, completed and filed the Hycroft Property Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary Humboldt and Pershing Counties, Nevada that included a mineral resource estimate utilizing a pressure oxidation process for transitional and sulfide mineralization and heap leaching process for oxide mineralization. The Company is prioritizing exploration drilling and data analysis, as well as advancing technical studies, conducting trade-off and alternative analyses to determine the optimal process flow sheet for processing sulfide ores and recovering gold and silver, maintaining the Hycroft Mine and exploring strategic initiatives.
On May 31, 2024, the Company replaced its at-the-market offering program with a new $100.0 million at-the-market public offering program (the “New ATM Program”). Through the New ATM Program, the Company sold 0 and 108,072 shares of common stock, generating gross proceeds ofnil and $0.3 million, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $97.5 million and $97.8 million, respectively, gross sales price of common stock remained available for issuance under the New ATM Program. The net proceeds from the New ATM Program have been, and are expected to be, used for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment, refinancing, redemption, or repurchase of existing indebtedness, exploration, working capital, or capital expenditures and other investments. See Note 12 – Stockholders’ Equity for additional information.
On June 12, 2025, the Company announced a public offering (“the Offering”) of 12,500,000 Units of the Company at a public offering price of $3.50 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock of the Company and one-half of one common stock purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “2025 3-Year Warrant”). Each 2025 3-Year Warrant is exercisable to purchaseone share of common stock of the Company at a price of $4.20 per share, exercisable for a period of 36 months. The shares of common stock and warrants were issued separately but could only be purchased together in the Offering. In addition, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,875,000 Units (comprised of 1,875,000 additional shares of common stock and 937,500 additional warrants), shares of common stock, warrants, or any combination thereof, at the underwriters’ discretion, so long as the aggregate number of shares of common stock and warrants that may be issued under the option does not exceed 1,875,000 shares of common stock and 937,500 warrants. On June 12, 2025, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase 937,500 2025 3-Year Warrants at a price of $0.02 per warrant.
The Offering closed on June 13, 2025, and the Company received net proceeds of $40.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts but before deducting estimated expenses payable by it in connection with the Offering which are estimated to be $0.4 million (of which $0.1 million was paid as of June 30, 2025). The Company intends to use the net proceeds for further exploration, working capital and general corporate purposes.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these Financial Statements do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Audited Financial Statements”), filed as a part of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 5, 2025. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in the 2024 Audited Financial Statements, with updates discussed below. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in these Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to the useful life of long-lived assets; future mining and processing plans; environmental reclamation and closure costs and timing; and estimates of fair value for long-lived assets, assets held-for-sale, and financial instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, including drilling and assay data that are believed to be reasonable at the time the estimate is made. Actual results may differ from amounts estimated in these Financial Statements, and such differences could be material. Accordingly, amounts presented in these Financial Statements may not be indicative of results that may be expected for future periods.
Reclassification of prior year presentation
Certain prior period amounts have been combined for consistency with the current year presentation. These line items were combined to simplify the financial statement presentation, enhancing clarity without altering the total amounts reported in the Financial Statements. The combination of line items had no effect on the reported results of operations, financial position, or cash flows, and did not affect the amounts previously reported in the 2024 Audited Financial Statements.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company’s long-lived assets consist of property, plant, and equipment. We review and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Events that may trigger a test for recoverability include, but are not limited to, significant adverse changes to projected revenues, costs, or future operating plans or changes to federal and state regulations (with which we must comply) that may adversely impact our current or future operations. An impairment is determined to exist if the total projected future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of a long-lived asset group. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on the excess carrying value of the impaired long-lived asset group over fair value.
Since the Company does not have mineral reserves on which to project revenues or cash flows from its operations in 2025 or beyond, to determine fair value, we utilize a market-based approach considering comparable sales transactions from the past five years and estimates of enterprise value. Based on the comparable sales transactions identified, we estimated a range of values for measured and indicated mineral resources per equivalent ounce of gold. Our estimates of future cash flows from the potential sale of our assets held-for-sale, which is a variable in the model, are based on numerous assumptions that are consistent with or reasonable in relation to transactions occurring in the market and the Company’s history with selling similar assets. Actual future cash flows may be significantly different than the estimates as each is subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company completed its evaluation and determinedno impairment was necessary.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-02, Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. The amendments are considered to be codification improvements only and, therefore, are not expected to significantly affect current accounting practice. The ASU clarified guidance, simplified wording or structure of guidance, and implemented certain other minor improvements. This update became effective at the beginning of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s Financial Statements and related disclosures.

- Commitments and Contingencies
Legal proceedings
The Company has been named as a defendant infour pro se individual and/or putative class/derivative actions in the Delaware Chancery Court that assert claims for, inter alia, breach of contract, declaratory judgment, equitable fraud and fiduciary breaches (againsttwo company officers) arising from or relating to Warrants and/or shares purportedly held by the plaintiffs. In various forms, they allege that the Company or its predecessor entities breached the Warrant Agreement, dated October 22, 2015, and/or related Amendment Agreement, dated February 26, 2020. Among other things, the plaintiffs allege, by or on behalf of Warrant holders, that the Company or its predecessor(s) breached these agreements by failing to make proper “Mechanical Adjustments” to the Warrants upon the occurrence of certain business transactions and events, including the Recapitalization Transaction. On July 9, 2024, the Delaware Court issued a letter opinion addressing the Company’s motion to disqualify the plaintiffs from bringingpro se class/derivative actions. Pursuant to that order, one of thefour lawsuits (an individual action) has been discontinued. Also, the Delaware Court held thattwo of the plaintiffs are inadequate class representatives (and cannot pursuepro se derivative claims), but they can proceed with their individual claims if they so choose. The third plaintiff has retained counsel and is pursuing his class action. All parties are currently awaiting further direction from the Delaware Court before moving to the next phase of motions, which will seek to dismiss the remaining actions.
The Company expenses legal fees and other costs associated with legal proceedings as incurred. The Company assessed, in conjunction with its legal counsel, the need to record a liability related to the Complaint and determined that a loss was not probable nor reasonably estimable. Litigation accruals are recorded when, and if, it is determined that a loss related matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. Material loss contingencies that are reasonably possible of occurrence, if any, are subject to disclosure. No losses have been recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, with respect to litigation or loss contingencies.
Insurance
The Company has deductible-based insurance policies for certain losses related to general liability, workers’ compensation, and automobile coverage. The Company records accruals for contingencies related to its insurance policies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional information becomes available. Insurance losses for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon estimates of the aggregate liability for uninsured claims using historical loss development factors and actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry.
